    Same. That lamp has absolutely been licked before. You don’t know by whom and you don’t know how recently. If you’re at least a tiny bit of a germaphobe, those statements should frighten you.

      The high salinity should take care of any bacteria in short order. It may not be clean, but there ain’t no bacteria on it!
